Bai Suxian's delicate brows drew together slightly at Zhang Tie's question, then relaxed again. She walked over to Zhang Tie and, together with him, looked down at the scenery racing past beneath them in the torrential rain. As the airship climbed higher and higher, gradually, all that could be seen below it was a sea of clouds.
Flying above the clouds in such weather, the ring of red lens warning lights on the airship had already lit up, blinking on and off like a circle of lighthouses amid the sea of clouds, warning other aircraft in the sky to watch their routes and give way.
"Why did you suddenly want to ask that?" Bai Suxian turned her face toward Zhang Tie, seeming to want to read something from his expression.
Zhang Tie seemed utterly unaware of Bai Suxian's scrutiny. He continued gazing at the boundless clouds beyond the airship and casually said, "I was just moved by hearing Liu Xing and the others cheering. I haven't been this happy in a long time. Not even when I took over Torch Dragon Territory was I this joyful. Just now, I suddenly realized that I was actually a little envious of them!"
"Do you know? Sometimes I feel as if there's another person inside this body of yours!" Bai Suxian's words gave Zhang Tie a slight jolt. He turned his head and looked into Bai Suxian's sparkling eyes. Bai Suxian smiled and gazed at him tenderly. "I used to hear that some people had split personalities, but I'd never seen one before. Yet after seeing you, I'm beginning to believe it. It seems there are two souls inside your body. One is bold and magnanimous, a man among men; the other is an ordinary big boy who longs for a peaceful life.
